One source of Tai Chi was the dao-yin (doin) exercises and other secret systems practiced by Taoist sages to prevent aging and confer immortalit

To the Chinese, who have always been obsessed with the idea of never aging and immortality, the Taoist sages who are reputed to have enjoyed lives of hundreds of years without aging must have been like super heroes. Those sages practiced many secret techniques, such as dao-yin exercises, that maintained their health and preserved their youth. Those dao-yin exercises later developed into the art we know as Tai Chi. Thus, Tai Chi is a secret technique to restore youth and vitality.

Wouldn't you like to experience for your_self the refreshing and exhilarating feeling that comes with practicing Tai Chi?

The refreshing, exhilarating feeling one experiences after performing Tai Chi is very special. Invigorated chi flows freely throughout the body, washing away all traces of fatigue and stress and leaving one feeling cleansed and refreshed.

Modern diseases, the causes of which are often indiscernible, are said to be the result of accumulated stress. One benefit of Tai Chi is that it helps alleviate both physical and mental stress, bringing about a better mind-body balance, giving you greater peace of mind. The deep relaxation gained through the practice of Tai Chi can even help loosen chronic stiff shoulders.

Tai Chi has the same effect as ch'i-kung healing

In China, those who have found no relief from doctors or from medications turn to Tai Chi. This is because Tai Chi has the same effect on the body as the very popular Ch'i-kung method of healing. In particular, it has extremely beneficial effects upon the cardio-vascular, respiratory, digestive, and autonomic nervous systems, aiding and improving the functions of all the body organs, both yin and yang. This is because Tai Chi applies the appropriate stimulus to the acupuncture points located all over the body, balancing and maximizing the flow of ch'i through the meridians.

Tai Chi is also an excellent means of self-DEFENSE

Martial arts such as Karate or the various Shaolin forms that utilize the force of muscular strength are called "hard" or "external"; in contrasts, the arts of Tai Chi, Hsing-I Chuan (Xing-Yi), and Ba Gua Zhang(Pa Kua), which utilize the power of ch'i are called "soft" or "internal." Since the "soft" arts do not depend upon strong muscles, they are very effective for everyone, both young and old, who may be lacking in superior muscular strength. "The soft overcomes the hard"-this saying well applies to the marvelous techniques, both defensive as well as offensive, of Tai chi.

Having attained the true spirit and wisdom of the art of self-defense, you will also nurture the ability to sense and counteract any trouble around you in your daily life.
